Walt Disney Pictures' and Walden Media's "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" is a spectacular live action/CGI motion picture adaptation of C.S. Lewis' beloved literary classic. The movie follows the exploits of the four Pevensie siblings — Lucy, Edmund, Susan and Peter — in World War II England who enter the world of Narnia through a magical wardrobe while playing a game of 'hide-and-seek' in the rural country home of an elderly professor. Once there, the children discover a charming, peaceful land inhabited by talking beasts, dwarfs, fauns, centaurs and giants that has become a world cursed to eternal winter by the evil White Witch, Jadis. Under the guidance of a noble and mystical ruler, the lion Aslan, the children fight to overcome the White Witch's powerful hold over Narnia in a spectacular, climactic battle that will free Narnia from her icy spell forever.

The film marks the first live action directorial effort for Andrew Adamson (Academy Award®-nominated for "Shrek," "Shrek 2"), who also co-wrote the film's screenplay adaptation with Ann Peacock and Christopher Markus & Stephen McFeely. The film is produced by Academy Award®-winning filmmaker Mark Johnson ("Rain Man"). The cast includes Tilda Swinton, James McAvoy, Rupert Everett, Ray Winstone, Dawn French and Jim Broadbent, with Liam Neeson as Aslan.
